I hate people that posts images with their posts. Especially animated ones.

No-ones forcing you to post and it's always possibly to either post in accordance with the rules, or not post at all.

If you are banned but want to enter a contest, your best bet would be to contact the contest host and explain the situation, and hope they accept your entry.

Response to: Does centrifugal gravity work? Posted August 11th, 2013 in General

Short answer: Yes, centrifugal gravity works in space.
The rotating space station in 2001: A Space Odyssey is more or less accurate.

The reason we haven't done it yet is most likely due to lack of political motivation, and high price.

Does centrifugal gravity work?

Response to: Fbi Is Investigating Me (no Joke) Posted August 9th, 2013 in General

I recently re-read the Norwegian press ethics code of practice. The first paragraph goes something like this:
Freedom of speech, freedom of information, and freedom of the press are fundamental parts of a democracy. A free, independent press is among the most important institutions in democratic societies.

I can't help but think the strict surveillance is a huge threat to the right of free speech because whenever you leave a digital footprint it can be tracked back to you. Additionally, journalists directing spotlight towards the US government may reasonably fear their own government.

Now, it's not even close the dystopia depicted in 1984 - the weight put on thought crime and uniformity is just too heavy to be comparable to what one can see today. Though I sometime wonder, George Orwell showed his interpretation of the totalitarian, communist party. How would the totalitarian capitalist society look like, and how close are we to that?

My point was that abstinence won't stop other people from DUI. As for the otherwise negative effects of drinking, I imagine they're mostly a problem when drinking excessively or after some abuse. I'm not an expert on the subject so I hope I don't come across as trying to be one.

I don't think less of people who refrain, but I still think they're missing out. I can't imagine a beer with some friends every other weekend to be much of a problem.

Driving after drinking is in fact not mandatory, it's actually possible to drink without having to drive. Now, if a few dumbasses decides to do just that, no abstinence is going to stop them.

I don't look down on people who stays away from alcohol, but they're definitely missing out for what seems to me to be no real reason.

Seems journalism in the states can be a high-risk job these days, unless you report what the Party wants. They may die in freak car accidents, or perhaps face lifetime charges if they post too inquisitive youtube videos.

Response to: Browser you like using? Posted August 4th, 2013 in General

It shouldn't come as a shock that google tracks you. Google is literally an advertisement agency, so that would obviously be a major part of their job, storing all your digital footprints for a minimum of 18 months. They do have an opt-out choice, but it only works by downloading their cookie opt-out plugin.

In other words, I wouldn't expect the incognito mode in chrome to be much more private than a public park. I'm not saying FF's private browsing tool is any safer in that regard, but at least they don't have much commercial interest in tracking you.

Response to: Reddit Posted August 4th, 2013 in General

If you wanna get into reddit you should invest two seconds into installing RES.

Next comes personalizing your frontpage with the subreddits of your choice. There's a subreddit for pretty much anything imaginable. Everything from meta to beta; shitposts with and without the bitter taste of sarcasm.

Among my subscriptions are AskScience and TrueReddit. The former is full of scientists (read: undergrads) who will readily answer any sciency question that can't be easily googled, along with citing sources and often providing further reading material on the subject.

Additionally you can navigate to your preferred genres and see if you can explore new stuff.

There are also a whole community of NSFW stuff but I won't get into that.

Healthy food does not equal expensive food. The biggest difference is you can't follow the TV show running as good when you're making that chicken salad, as opposed to when you're heating a pizza.

Just because they're physically are ready for sex doesn't mean they're mentally prepared for it. I've known girls who had gotten their periods at 9 years old. Do you think it's ok for 9 year olds to have sex?

As an addendum to this, extreme precocious puberty can lead to some crazy things (NSFW-ish). Evolution doesn't have an agenda other than self perseverance, so to use it as a moral compass would be a bit misguided.
